EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored etching depicts the Chinese crabapple tree, Malus prunifolia, also known as the Chinese pomme fruitier or Chinese flowering crabapple. The image is taken from Pierre Joseph Buchoz's "Precieuse et enluminee des fleurs les plus belles et les plus curieuses, qui se cultivent tant dans les jardins de la Chine, que dans ceux de l'Europe," published in Paris in 1776. The intricately detailed etching showcases the beauty and allure of this unique apple variety. The Chinese crabapple is native to China and has been cultivated for centuries for its attractive blooms and small, tart fruit. The tree is characterized by its dense, rounded shape and its vibrant pink to red flowers that bloom in the spring. The fruit, which is smaller than a standard apple, is often used in jams, jellies, and other preserves due to its tart and tangy flavor. This etching is a testament to the global exchange of horticultural knowledge during the 18th century. The Chinese crabapple was introduced to Europe through trade and botanical exploration, and it quickly became a popular addition to European gardens. The intricately detailed etching captures the essence of this beautiful and intriguing plant, showcasing its unique features and captivating all who behold it.
